Mr. WEO

As everyone know, "hurt" isn't the same as "injury"--so why try to make such a point? Again, Defenders have needed no such "inside info" to slow down Diggs, so his decline has proven your premise false. Also, "body slamming" a player to "take him out of a game" is an option on any tackle. If it really had that result with any frequency, and for such a low cost (15 yarder), logic dictates that you would see guys taking the penalty on an opposing WR1 more frequently. But you don't. So that's another dumb argument that gets endlessly repeated here.

I will rephrase (see above)--I assume Diggs is as banged up as any player. I have no evidence or reason to believe he is debilitated to the point where he has declined for 3 months. His HC says his decreased snaps are not injury related and, specifically, that there is nothing medically wrong with him. As for his decreased snap counts--this mostly started when Brady took over----and it was explicitly by desing: "Look, I think there's times where we definitely tag him out of plays," Brady said. "I think it was something earlier in the season we talked about to get to where we want to get -- to just not playing (that many snaps)."

every guy is playing hurt. As for the bolded, posters mention this a lot--but it makes little sense. It's up there with "bulletin board materail" and "trap games", "Santa Claus". Stuff fans like to talk about. obviously keeping the opposition "in the dark" about some presumed Diggs injury has has had "no advantage whatsoever" for Diggs or the Bills---he's getting shut down all the same.

what has Samuel's "stand ou" trait brought any team so far? why would you pay for that? his 4.31 was like 8 years ago. He's a downgrade at WR2 (like all the bums I mentioned that have taken a check from McBeane and are long gone). you have to do better than that... he's not injured. I don't know even what type of injury you are imagining--something that had no obvious antecedent, caused no missed and has been kept off the weekly injury report for 3 months straight? why would anyone believe that? clearly the lack of a mentioned injury has NOT stopped every D he has faced from stuffing Diggs, so your argument also makes no sense. They are all already "tipped" on Diggs.

Davis at 4 seasons has only 600 fewer yards, more TDs than Samuel at 7. He'[s had one career season over 700 yards. Davis has had 2 in 4. The guy isn't in any way an upgrade over Davis. He's not even an upgrade over Shakir. This would be the typical dumb Bills WR off-season WR move: nearly dead Beasley/John Brown, Crowder, Sanders, Andre Roberts, Duke Williams, Kelvin Benjamin.. Just an endless stream of bums passing though. no thanks I know it's popular around here to invent or postulate injuries for when players start to hit the tank, but you're making that up. McD denied this was the case just yesterday when directly asked. Davis and Diggs can be evaluated and discussed separately---and Diggs performance since mid-October is what it is, it can't be "clouded" by thoughts about the performance of another receiver. It's a huge issue that everyone is talking about.

I don't give Jets fans that much credit.

Rodgers whole "I'll be back to play this year" lie was such an unforced error. I'm assuming Jets FO made him say that when they already knew it wasn't true? It was always completely unbelievable so I'm not sure why they went through with that weird charade. Maybe to placate a hopeless fanbase?

more than one poster here believes this though lol

what injury? Diggs was a 5 star recruit who, after a somewhat underwhelming college career, made an All Rookie team with the Vikings. The guy who replaced him has been the best WR in the league since day 1. Look at the top 5 WR this year: Hill, Lamb, AJ Brown, Nacua, St. Brown---all high were impact immediately. Same for the next 5 (Aiyuk, Moore, Cooper, Allen, Evans. Why can't that happen in Buffalo? Problem is that Beane and McD have famously struggled to recognize the need for, or draft, really good WRs. every young TE wants to "put up" GOAT numbers, lol. it's pretty unlikely. this Offense won't be running through Kincaid. as WR1?

look at the second half of the season—his decline is represented well right there. Fully have of his yards came in 5 games—all before Oct 22.

"Bills press employee explains why Bills HC is not starting their #7 pick QB"....lol, nice work. Anyway, as many of us pointed out at the time, after that first preseason game, McD would not let Petermkan face any other 1st string D's in the preseason. Why? Because he was dead set on not starting Josh Allen ins week 1....because, derpa derpa, you don't start 1st round top 10 pick rookie QBs!! Of course this is ridiculous because, you do. At least I gave The Crimson Clapper credit for only taking one half of one game to wake from his preseason coma and Josh after halftime, week 1---but it took Peterman's 0.0 first half passer rating to snap McD out of this bizarre delusion. The rest, as they say, is history.

then we picked the wrong WR in April....

It isn't a common play to actually bench your recently big contract signed vet QB1 midseason for fear of having to pay him money you have decided you no longer want to pay him. There's Carr and there's Wilson. That's the list. The other guys you listed don't fall into this category. Wilson, in the end, was not given this choice. He said no the first time, got some backup from the NFLPA, then they did it anyway.

QB!? that's a very difficult argument to make. He has scored more TDs than any player in the league. The O-line looks good because of Josh's ability to run away from it. Minus Cook's 3 big games this season, the "effective running game" is, effectively, again, Josh Allen. Despite a bad game Sunday, QB1 is not the problem. He has stopped targeting WR2 and WR1 disappeared nearly 3 months ago. Diggs couldn't find separation in Michael Strahan's front teeth. He's averaged 37 YPG over the past 7 games---and that's with 55 targets. The Bills have to get bigger, stronger, better at WR1 this off season.

WR 1 is the problem right now...

Absolutely agree Georgia should have been in instead of Bama--despite the close loss in the SEC title game. Bama lost because of their QB.

The Stidham for Carr I already covered in another post. Ditto for The Broncos squeezing Wilson months ago to relinquish the injury clause or get benched (he said no and the NFLPA got the Broncos to back off--see above)--so it's the same issue with the same player and team. Jimmy G was benched for cause--they had just fired McDaniels and Garoppolo was playing poorly (he had already missed games due to an injury and concussion), going 3-3 and 7 TDs on 9 INTS. He wasn't benched because he refused to remove an injury guarantee from his contract. The question hasn't changed. Tyrod Taylor an Jimmy Garoppolo were the wrong answers, for the obvious reasons (stated). you probably should stay in your Robert Kraft obsession lane....

how many draft eligible players on Georgia opted out? Oregon Tennessee, Wisconsin, LSU all fielded competitive rosters this weekend. it’s pretty simple. The CFP easily decided that, with a full roster and a backup QB, FSU would not be competitive in the CFP. Without their starting QB, they are simply in no way one of the 4 best teams in the country. why would you or anyone still be struggling with this.

every non CFP bowl team fielded essentially their usual competitive team. FSU are quitters. It was easier for their best players to walk away rather than lose a non CFP bowl game with a backup QB. That’s their culture from the school leadership to their weak willed HC. feel bad for the guys who stayed on the team and had to absorb that beating. GSU has no shame. Let them go to the SEC and be another Ol Miss or Tennessee Lol Rodemaker. Come on. Guys been in college for years. Rarely plays. Career backup. not yet

you struggle when you don’t need to. It’s like you revel in not being on point an existence of unforced errors

based on how both teams played this weekend I think Georgia beats Bama tonigyt you should start yet another thread about this, you know, flesh out your thoughts a bit more….

What update you need? This was exciting for the final few min in regulation and then OT. The rest was bad offensive football. the last play was comic relief—Millroe diving at the 3 yard line as though it was the end zone. Just a lot of bad Offensive football. maybe you can catch the rebroadcast or something

Sabin with 2 TO in a row to get a play in and that’s the play they come up with lol

he said he was he won’t be starting

im sure he could go to the MAC or CUSA
